The Stupidly Dangerous Politics of Blame

I hope that, like me, you are off this long holiday weekend and have a chance to think about the drama that now surrounds the U.S. administration. What I find fascinating isn't that the government is a bit of a mess but that the accidental transparency of this administration is focusing us more on the visibility of the problems rather than on the problems themselves. President Obama knew about the Russians hacking the election, but largely sat on the information. President Trump likely wanted to do the same thing, but leaks made it impossible.
